Friday, October 7

Danny:  "Started at 8:45, took a bath, started again."  The man loves his lake baths!

We saw only one house on the river the entire day!  And very few boats.  We did find a marina, Ditto Landing, to get gas.  Reproductions of the Nina and the Pinta were at the dock and lots of school children running around.  A three-year-old named William came on the gas dock to see our boat and came right on board!  The cabins on the reproduction ships were closed, and he wanted to see inside a boat.  We gave William and his Grammie a tour and visited a little bit.  When I can figure out how to add pictures, I will post one so Grammie can show it to him.

My earlier posts was incorrect, not that it matters to anyone, but water aerobics was today, along with a trial run in the dinghy.  The davits work great for getting on the dinghy, but we can't pull it up until we get out.  Thank goodness for our wonderful ladder.  (More about that later.)

On the not-so-happy side, the carbon monoxide alarm went off just before dinner. We had stopped rather early and run the generator longer than normal.  We cut the generator off, opened all the windows and doors, and went outside to get away from the noise.  This happened once before when we were out all day with Jennfer and her friends.  Danny's pretty sure it was just the direction of the wind blowing fumes back in.  We had pimiento sandwiches by candlelight and went to bed.  Danny didn't find any leaks around the hoses and we haven't had any more trouble.
